Silent Film Status

What is the status of your Silent Film? What was successful? What were some challenges? What did you feel were the biggest flaws of the final product?

I am still not yet finished with my Silent Film. I found that some of our costumes were successful but I don't think they were well thought out. Some challenges we faced as a group were communication and planning. Members of our group did not contribute as much as we had hoped. People flaked out last minute on our project on days that were important. The days we did end up filming turned out to be much harder seeing as we did not plan things out in detail. Finding a location was also difficult. Our first location was the one we were most excited about but we came off as disrespectful to the people at the location and we did not have everything planned out as well. My biggest flaw in this project was contributing my input on how we executed our project. This leaves me with a product that I am not fully proud of.  I also feel like I'm not a very strong actor so that lowers the quality of my group members' products. The continuity of my hair is also a flaw in our film.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing. You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

FINAL EXPERIENCE WORDCLOUD

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for? I think the group work was the most valuable because it helped me socially. I learned to act professionally at times were professionalism was most needed and I was able to stay calm and composed even when a group member was being immature and rude. Another thing I enjoyed was the class discussions and class work where we all created one thing. I liked the activity during the storytelling unit where we all passed around papers to create a story.

DIAGETIC VS. NON DIEGETIC SOUND

What is the difference between diegetic and non diegetic sound? What is an example of each that you can think of from a film? Diegetic sound is where the subject that's making the sound is visible on screen such as spoken dialogue between characters. Non diegetic sound is where there is audio but the subject making the sound is not on screen such as narration or music. An example of diegetic sound would be in a fight scene where we see the punches being thrown and we hear punches accompanying it. An example of non diegetic sound would be for example, when Gollum and Bilbo are playing games and Gollum disappears but we still hear his voice taunting Bilbo.
